John Harbinson, 42, of Beresford Gardens in Benfleet, Essex, is due to appear in custody at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday, Scotland Yard said.

It comes after eight men accused of conspiring to carry out the raid appeared in court yesterday, as it was revealed that the losses run to in "excess of 10 million".

Terry Perkins, 67, Daniel Jones, 58, and Hugh Doyle, 48, all of Enfield, north London; William Lincoln, 59, of Bethnal Green, east London; and John Collins, 74, of Islington, north London, all appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday.

Also in court were Brian Reader, 76, and Paul Reader, 50, both of Dartford Road, Dartford, Kent, and Carl Wood, 58, of Elderbeck Close, Cheshunt, Herts, who face the same charge of conspiracy to burgle between April 1 and May 19, this year.

They arrived at the court in a convoy of police vans, escorted by armed officers, and spoke only to confirm their names, addresses and dates of birth.

The eight men were remanded in custody over their alleged participation in the raid at Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Company in London's jewellery quarter over the Easter weekend.
